I found that that my issue above was an issue with the d.js lib
it's getting fixed apparently
maiden mauve
@peak quail did you log col to see if its what you want?
peak quail
i just want to log the message.guild.members
maiden mauve
const col = await message.guild.fetchMembers();
for(let item in col) {
}
try it like that
unless you intentionally want to use "of"
maiden mauve
I wonder if they intentionally made it alittle obscure to obtain a list of user objects
quartz kindle
i dont think they do
maiden mauve
it's a very frequently asked question in here
quartz kindle
its just that d.js relies on caches, so the function serves to fill up the guild cache
they changed it in master though, there you can fetch members as a collection and optionally not cache them
maiden mauve
Was "Master" a recent release?
quartz kindle
no, its been in ongoing development for years
maiden mauve
ah just heard people talking about it lately
quartz kindle
its more mature for general use now, so many people are switching over

if a bot cannot send a message to a user, will the response be a 403?

Hello, I want to send messages to certain channels on all servers at the same time with my bot. What is the definition of this?
quartz kindle
the definition is spam and api abuse
steel cloak
Im trying to have the bot check to see if it has the permission 'manage webhooks' from a message event. this should work right? (discord.js)
if(!message.guild.me.hasPermission(['MANAGE_WEBHOOKS'])) return message.channel.send('I need the `Manage Webhooks` permission to run this command');
steel cloak
so just send it as a string?
steel cloak
oh okay thanks. I was just asking cause when testing it, it didn't seem to work for when i gave it permission. it just kept saying it didnt have it even though it did

Anyone know anything about lavalink?
earnest phoenix
What is that
Is there a way to remove a specific role from everyone in the guild?
Yep but, add a cooldown
You can get api banned
For that
Oh
@earnest phoenix look the .forEach properties in the .guild object
Ok thank you
It's in js? @earnest phoenix
Yes
Okay so, you need to forEach all member in the guild and then forEach all roles
I can give you a simple exemple
Yes please
devout flicker
is it just me or why is my token always invalid
earnest phoenix
message.guild.members.forEach(m => console.log(m.id)) display all members id
Ok ty
quartz kindle
@devout flicker are you using d.js master?
devout flicker
no
devout flicker
oof
earnest phoenix
@devout flicker contact discord
maybe your bot got banned
if the token always regen
devout flicker
ye was my guess but ill check my dependencies again
amber fractal
Update d.js anyways. The new changes to the api made tokens invalid on d.js master, which you said you werent on, but maybe you installed the wrong version.
devout flicker
ye already updating dependencies

split hazel
Why does setInterval sometimes completely stop working and stops the interval on its own
And our bot relies 101% fully on intervals
And loops
quartz kindle
it shouldnt stop on its own unless it crashes
split hazel
I'll give a small overview, we have an interval that loops over around 500 elements with foreach every 5 seconds that gets data from db and does stuff only if it matches specific criteria (which only a few elements will at the time) sometimes, people say that it just stops and the bot no longer seems to fulfil the interval.
A restart fixes it as it restarts the interval but constant restarts aren't in my favour

@pallid zinc I think you put an accidental comma after e which should be a +
Assuming all values are defined
And not supposed to be string
earnest phoenix
lmao
split hazel
You know you can put it all in one string right
split hazel
And save the hassle of like 10 values
pallid zinc
i cant do it in pc
split hazel
You can do something like
let numbers = "1⃣2⃣3⃣4⃣5⃣6⃣7⃣8⃣9⃣";
split hazel
Yes but you're wasting time adding every number via variable when you can just add it to the code like
;one;
Which is 1⃣

trying to make tic tac toe command
so it wound be easy to edit if i do some think like this
just tell the answer
and leave everythink on me
i got my ans so thanks for doing nothing
late hill
The only thing you were missing was "\n" ? 😂
pallid zinc
lol
pallid zinc
message.channel.send(`**TIC_TAC_TOE** \n ${q} ${w} ${e} \n ${r} ${t} ${y} \n ${u} ${i} ${o}`)```
how can i only edit ${q}
any way?It only lets you edit the entire thing
So just do the full thing again with an updated q
late hill
You're making tic tac toe
Which I don't think is extremely complex
But I'd suggest creating a class for it
You could nest arrays to recreate the playing field
Put some functions in your class that convert the playing field to a string value
aka a toString() method
It would be nice and structured to have all of that in 1 simple class that you can then reference from anywhere in your code
A 2D array if you've ever done that
pallid zinc
if(message.content === "1"){ q = e}else{q = "1⃣"}
late hill
let playingField = [
["X", "X", "X"],
["X", "X", "X"],
["X", "X", "X"]
]```Like that
You specify a variable for each field
Not necessary
Using my playingField structure above you simply use playingFIeld[y][x]
late hill
oof
pallid zinc
lol

guys i need help i want to add bots to my server but i cant seem to get it done can anyone help me?

pallid zinc
ok
late hill
with the A-I being your playfield
pallid zinc
ok
late hill
If you used the 2D array as shown above
wait
ok
You'd access A using playingField[0][0]
B would be playingField[0][1]
pallid zinc
ok
pallid zinc
yup
late hill
That way you don't need 9 variables
pallid zinc
ok
late hill
Or possibly even more when coding a game with more fields
dusky mist
How can i do that the bot send achievements with the say command? Without using links
Its possible?
earnest phoenix
which library
dusky mist
Discord.js
earnest phoenix
see the example for sending an attachment
i cant fix this thing since yesterday, i wont complicate
if you made .forEach loop
how would you stop it? (discordjs)
quartz kindle
you cant, not in an easy way at least
forEach creates a function on each iteration, so with 10 items, forEach will create 10 functions. returning will return that individual function only
earnest phoenix
whenever i try to stop it with return, it will just spam messages
i cant find anything online
quartz kindle
you need either an external control, or change it into a different type of iteration
quartz kindle
you can use break/continue in a normal for loop for example
or you can use an external control variable, such as js let loop = true; something.forEach(t => { if(!loop) return; })
and then set the loop to false from inside
also depends on what exactly you're trying to do
earnest phoenix
tnx bruh, i'll try it
im trying to give all members a role
but cant stop on loop on error
quartz kindle
you can also use try/catch and throw an error
0⃣ 1⃣ 2⃣try{
something.forEach(t => {
throw "error"
})
}catch(e){
}```
that should also stop the loopA forEach()... I'll be damned
Better solution:js for (const t of something) { if (thing) break; // stops that iteration of the loop }
And also, depending on your circumstances, it might not be required for you to loop at all, you might be better off using smth like Array.map(), Array.filter(), Array.find(), or Array.reduce() which do it for you
quartz kindle
he wants to add roles using a loop, so those functions would not suit his use case
unless he needs to return the role objects afterwards
slender thistle
future reference!
opaque eagle
const role = "that role";
const addRole = member => member.roles.add(role);
const roleObjectsForSomeReasonEvenThoughWeAlreadyDefinedIt = await Promise.all(guild.members.map(addRole));```So in Discord.JS I need to split the args so that anything after args[1] becomes a sentence. Because I slice args and then it goes like this
{"word1", "word2"}, but I just want it in a sentence. How can I do that?

how old are you @earnest phoenix ;d
16? Why, uhhhmm, do you ask?
lusty dew
earnest phoenix
Right, moving to off-topic
opaque eagle
I use Eris on js... i've also used dgo, serenity, drb, and sword in the past
opaque eagle
It's certainly not beginner-friendly
You won't like it unless you're pretty good with writing code.
Personally, i prefer Eris over Discord.js, just because imo, Discord.js is bloated
D.js holds your hand through every little thing and makes everything "easier", while Eris is a lot more barebones
lusty dew
Yea
opaque eagle
That's what I hate about D.js
lusty dew
Took me 3days to figure out how to send messages lel
opaque eagle
lmao
lusty dew
Then I realized why not check the docs there is probably an example
lusty dew
I heard Eris has better mem usage
amber fractal
Get 👏 off 👏 stable 👏
lusty dew
Iirc d.js caches everything
amber fractal
@lusty dew client options
lusty dew
I may try and make a bot in Eris again
amber fractal
You have the ability to control it
opaque eagle
Do you see any major bots using D.js? All of the top-tier ultra popular bots use Eris
That's my D.js patriot card
topaz fjord
or they use cooler libs 
lusty dew
Python is eh C# fuck that
lusty dew
Java was kinda easy in the beginning but then I started to get confused
So I just gave up on it
topaz fjord
lmao
lusty dew
Wanna try and learn Java fully though
opaque eagle
Dyno, Tatsumaki, Dank Memer, Pokecord, BoxBot, Pancake, Idle Miner, Zira
amber fractal
Java has worse cpu usage than js
opaque eagle
All the major bots either use Eris or anything but d,js
amber fractal
Java eats
topaz fjord
and I didn't do shit to mine
opaque eagle
I hate Java
lusty dew
Well my bot is gonna stick with d.js lel
topaz fjord
Just wrote the code and hoped it wotked
opaque eagle
Writing Java code is so redundant
amber fractal
Typed lang bad 👎
opaque eagle
It's overall really terrible as far as the developer's experience and required-hassle is concerned
amber fractal
topaz fjord
I prefer typed langs
amber fractal
I dont like typed langs
topaz fjord
I don't see how java is a hassle
opaque eagle
writing java code is really redundant
topaz fjord
but I don't use java so I wouldn't know that much
Kotlin gang
I feel like kotlin gets rid of that redundancy
amber fractal
Whats the point of defining a type? All the benefit I see is that it allows you to know what a variable is by glancing over code if it's not actually defined.
opaque eagle
kotlin is fine
opaque eagle
what's scratch
amber fractal
Smh
lusty dew
👀
topaz fjord
mit programming language
amber fractal
opaque eagle
that looks like its for kids
topaz fjord
It's for the script kiddies who think they're gonna make it big
opaque eagle
lol that's not a coding lang
lusty dew
Iirc it’s made using js
opaque eagle
that's a tchotchke
lusty dew
Hmph
topaz fjord
I don't like block coding languages
lusty dew
What if you optimized it to allow http calls
topaz fjord
they don't let you feel how actual coding is gonna be
opaque eagle
those aren't coding languages
lusty dew
As soon as I heard we were gonna be using scratch I got up and walked out
topaz fjord
Watch those who use scratch thing java, js, etc. Is just drag and drop
I would literally just end myself
amber fractal
ArrayList<Integer> arr = new ArrayList<Integer>(); doesnt this seem redundant?
opaque eagle
it does
that's why java sucks
but other typed languages r actually good
like go, rust, ts
amber fractal
Idk I've used C# and Java didnt like either
opaque eagle
Strong-typing is really useful
lusty dew
What’s the easiest Lang to learn
mossy vine
probably javascript
opaque eagle
that depends
lusty dew
In your opinion
amber fractal
I just dont see the benefit to define a type
opaque eagle
on what u know already
hoary helm
i would say lua
mossy vine
syntax is simple, and as its the most popular language there are so many awesome guides out there
opaque eagle
defining types isn't useful for every scenario @amber fractal
lusty dew
Lua was so fucking gay
hoary helm
cough
discordia
cough
amber fractal
Outside of roblox and gmod
mossy vine
i only see lua used for game modding
opaque eagle
What language(s) do u know already? That helps in defining what "easy" means to u @lusty dew
hoary helm
there are some lua libraries for discord bots
lusty dew
I know a little js but not enough to be considered an expert
I know some lua but it was boring so I stopped
Not many uses for lua
topaz fjord
I don't see that as redundant
opaque eagle
I'd consider learning more JS first @lusty dew
topaz fjord
it make sure you strictly follow the type you defined
opaque eagle
before trying to learn other langs
knowing one language really well is better than knowing how to do hello world in 10
amber fractal
A string isnt gonna get in your array in js unless you put it in there.
opaque eagle
Why do u hate strong typing so much
lusty dew
Lol
opaque eagle
It's so useful
topaz fjord
and afaik you can leave out the <> when actually creating the array list
amber fractal
Thats what my problem with typing is, programatically you know what the variable is.
opaque eagle
/*
* @param {number} a
* @param {string} b
* @returns {string}
*/
function thing(a, b) {
return a + b;
}``````ts
function thing(a: number, b: string): string {
return a + b;
}```Which one would u rather write
mossy vine
honestly, i would stay with the first
amber fractal
First
topaz fjord
I like the private public and protected in java
I would rather do the second
For both
mossy vine
in the first one you obviously know whats code and whats documentation. second one takes longer to read and can be confusing
topaz fjord
How is it confusing
amber fractal
You know what you're passing into the function anyways.
mossy vine
^
amber fractal
So why does the type matter
mossy vine
type checking is 1-2 lines anyways
topaz fjord
The second one is the easiest one to read
opaque eagle
Static types can ease the mental burden of writing programs, by automatically tracking information the I would otherwise have to track mentally.
topaz fjord
without jsdoc you can still pass in what you want if you don't do proper checks
opaque eagle
I don't have to remember that a function takes such and such types and returns smth, becuz the code keeps track of it for me
mossy vine
thats why jsdoc is a thing
opaque eagle
and I can infer that in any point of my code using my ide's suggestions
topaz fjord
but you're not gonna put jsdoc on your own bot
opaque eagle
^
topaz fjord
there's literally no point
amber fractal
The first function actually can do more than the second, because it doesnt have ttpes
opaque eagle
jsdoc is designed for documentation first
topaz fjord
unless your releasing the code
amber fractal
You can add whatever you want, not just a number and string
opaque eagle
but each function should have a specific purpose @amber fractal
mossy vine
then make it obvious from the function name?
mossy vine
addNumbers(1, 2)
addStrings('a', 'b')
opaque eagle
@mossy vine I'm talking about when Steven said
The first function actually can do more than the second, because it doesnt have ttpes
amber fractal
So I should have
return a + b
}``` and
```function thing2(a, b){
return a + b
}``` ?Because the top one is for numbers
And the bottom is for strings
topaz fjord
in some languages yes
opaque eagle
doesn't make sense in such a niche scenario
amber fractal
Oh wait they do the same thing
opaque eagle
but i used adding as an example for more complex tasks that functions r used for
amber fractal
@topaz fjord the code is literally the same
That was the point
The second function is redundant
amber fractal
As you can do it with the first
Exactly my issue with typing
You need seperate functions to do the same thing
topaz fjord
How is making a useless function your issue with typing
amber fractal
With seperate types
topaz fjord
You don't
amber fractal
You literally do or it will say that you passed the wrong type
topaz fjord
because you can specify the type to be anything in typed languages
amber fractal
Not the way I was taught tho
topaz fjord
This scenario doesn't even make sense either way
no one makes a separate function to add two numbers/strings unless they're stupid
amber fractal
I just dont see why int x = 5 is better than let x = 5 you know what x is either way
It's an integer
The code also knows that
pallid zinc
Why
opaque eagle
i would've wanted go
amber fractal
I'd like to create an AI
topaz fjord
java is useful lmao
pallid zinc
Python is fast
topaz fjord
it's not a language that no one uses
amber fractal
I'm aware, still dont like it
Learning it was hell
The ap test was as dumb as ap tests are
topaz fjord
It's used more in companies than anything else
scarlet phoenix
For ML applications python has the most fleshed out libs. Id stick to that for ML/AI stuff
amber fractal
Python is what Im learning next
scarlet phoenix
Well depends on what you mean by ai as thats become so convoluted over the past few years
If you want to do some Java stuff I would also reccomend learning some kotlin.
amber fractal
Lol no
topaz fjord
In probably just gonna learn low level languages from now on
topaz fjord
Kotlin actually solves some issues you have with java tbh

}
module.exports.help = {

`k/dm @stray garnet Hello`
It sends: `Hello`
`@stray garnet`
how to let it only send the `Hello`?Of the 3, imo Kotlin > Java > Python but I do think python is great for stuff like small scripts.
Python just is not that good for larger projects imo
stray garnet
@amber fractal What? Why
scarlet phoenix
Strongly typed languages are a huge preference of mine
opaque eagle
strong-typing is neat
amber fractal
@stray garnet
scarlet phoenix
At work we have a legacy python monolyth backend (~3 million lines) And it is such a waste of time trying to track down what type every function returns/brings in
stray garnet
@amber fractal Oh, would it ne allowed to only make it for me?
opaque eagle
why would u want to dm random ppl through ur bot out of the blue
topaz fjord

inner jewel
https://i-was-scammed-by.dabbot.org/5e1znMj.png
that's why you can do
List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>() (since java 7, released in 2011)

if you're going to complain about syntax that's been outdated for 8 years you're doing it wrong

@inner jewel not my fault the college board teaches outdated stuff tho is it?
I didnt choose to learn it the way I did, I was forced to.
I would've still preferred to not learn java at all

Tim to make an api would I have to specify the websites I want to scrap let’s say images for
Or is there a way to just scrape a specified topic or genre of images across the internet
quartz kindle
you have to either scrape or build your own database
and scraping requires specific rules for specific websites, so yes, you need to specify websites and rules
the closest thing to "scraping across the internet" would be to scrape google images lol
or something similar

Is there a tutorial online for oauth2 callbacks?

Idk, have you used google
I feel most of the questions here would be answered faster if someone just put their question in google instead of here.

or played around with a blank sheet compiler
that's the nature of a chat room though
you just want a response

I saw it told you to name a file in a migrations folder something specific do I have to name it that
When looking at the better-sqlite3 npm page^^
quartz kindle
what are you trying to do?
you dont need to do anything regarding migrations unless you're specifically migrating a database to/from another db/version
quartz kindle
oh you're using better-sqlite3-helper
lusty dew
No
Wait what
Bruh I’m dead
I thought I was looking at better-sqlite3
So how do i create a table with better-sqlite3
I’m confused on how to use better-sqlite3 not very descriptive on how to use it st least not me
At*
lusty dew
Foobar.db?
quartz kindle
name it whatever you want
thats your database file
it will be created if it doesnt exist
quartz kindle
then you start executing standard sql statements like this:
db.prepare("SQL STATEMENT").run(parameters)```so creating tables for example
db.prepare("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS guilds (id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,channel TEXT,role TEXT,message TEXT,strength INT,sensitive INT);").run();```What does text primary key do
quartz kindle
when creating tables, the first value is the column name, the second is the column type
the third one can be a specific option, in this case, primary key means this column is the primary key
primary keys are unique values which are automatically indexed
lusty dew
Sql seems easy in some ways
quartz kindle
it is
lusty dew
The way it looks to me as if you are saying a sentence
quartz kindle
db.prepare("INSERT OR REPLACE INTO users (id) VALUES (?)").run(userid)```or basically just INSERT, not need for REPLACE here
quartz kindle
selecting all users js db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users").all()
selecting one user js db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?").get(?)
the () is for inserting multiple values in multiple columns
lusty dew
Ah okay
quartz kindle
you can also use named placeholders
lusty dew
So basically getting info from multiple columns
quartz kindle
db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = @id").get({id:userid})
anyway read the api docs and read some sqlite guides
lusty dew
But I get it for the most part
quartz kindle
nearly all sqlite statements can be done simple by db.prepare().run()
quartz kindle
or db.prepare().all()/.get() for retrieving values
quartz kindle
select is the sql statement
.get() is the better-sqlite3 function to return the value
lusty dew
Ahh okay so basically if you do
db.prepare(Select * From users Where id=?).get(userID)
Would get the userID
quartz kindle
would get all the data from the first row that matched the user id
quartz kindle
no, without .get its a statement
you can store it, execute it later, use it in a transaction, etc
lusty dew
Ah mk
quartz kindle
you can do things like ```js
let s = db.prepare("INSERT INTO users (id,name,rank) VALUES (?,?,?)");
users.forEach(t => {
s.run(t.id,t.username,0)
})
Oh cool you can put placeholders in to put parameters in later?
quartz kindle
yes, that is the purpose of creating a prepared statement
lusty dew
True
Btw when creating a table
Should I do it for guilds on join?
Like when the bot joins the guild it instantly creates an entry for that guild
quartz kindle
you should create tables only once. a typical use case is to write the table creation statements that you need (and carefully plan ahead the columns you will need etc, because sql is a relational database, unlike document-oriented which lets you arbitrarily add fields/keys/columns), run you script once to create them, then remove or comment out those lines
then you work with rows
add and remove rows for guilds, users, etc
lusty dew
Well yea what I mean was
Create the table once ofc
But when a bot joins a guild should it create an entry to that table on join
quartz kindle
that is up to you
lusty dew
It wouldn’t cause problems?
quartz kindle
you can do it like that, or only do it when the guild actually uses your bot
it wont cause problems
lusty dew
Which would be the better option
quartz kindle
i would go for the second option because im a performance maniac
quartz kindle
only run things when you actually need them
i would also cache your most used things
for example, save an entry to db and also to an object/map. then when you need it, try to get it from the object/map, if it fails, then get it from db and also add it back to the object/map
this is especially important for custom prefixes, so you avoid hitting your database on every single message (which can be hundreds/thousands per second)
quartz kindle
yes you can

I don’t wanna cloud things

I just looked at that oauth2 guide, am I missing something? It doesn't run the alert
<script>
window.onload = () => {
const fragment = new URLSearchParams(window.location.hash.slice(1));
if (fragment.has("access_token")) {
const accessToken = fragment.get("access_token");
const tokenType = fragment.get("token_type");
fetch('https://discordapp.com/api/users/@me', {
headers: {
authorization: `${tokenType} ${accessToken}`
}
}).then(res => res.json())
.then(response => {
const { username, discriminator } = response;
alert(`Hello, ${username}#${discriminator}!`);
}).catch(console.error);
}
}
</script>
I assume I’d make it functions?
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix add a few console.logs along the way to see which parts of the code run successfully
@lusty dew thats a option yes
lusty dew
I forgot you don’t need to do anything in the ready event for better-sqlite3 do ya?
lusty dew
@quartz kindle I don’t need to do anything in the ready event do I?
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix did you try console.log(fragment) right after you define it?
before the if
@lusty dew not necessarily, up to you
earnest phoenix
I did a console.log just below the opening script tag and nothing happened
So it's not running the script at all
quartz kindle
how are you running the html file?
earnest phoenix
through an Express application
api.get("/dashboard", async (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/dashboard/index.html");
});
can you do view-source in your browser?
earnest phoenix
oh i was following this guide: https://discordjs.guide/oauth2/#putting-it-together
nothing happens still
Hey anyone can help me?
quartz kindle
well actually in this case it should be fine to use the frontend because its the user's token in question
not yours
earnest phoenix
Error: Socket Hang Up how can i fix this :/
quartz kindle
that usually means its a connection issue
@earnest phoenix try using express.static
earnest phoenix
oh i forgot its a separate console, but it only logs to here: https://plexi-development.sucks-hairy-balls.xyz/nkslv.png
earnest phoenix
i know, i meant thats the only logs it sends
so apparently fragment doesnt have access_token
quartz kindle
whats the url you used?
earnest phoenix
my oauth2 URL
quartz kindle
with a fragment?
earnest phoenix
quartz kindle
it works here
earnest phoenix
it shows your tag?
quartz kindle
shows an empty dashboard
earnest phoenix
thats what i get too, but it should be showing a popup with your tag
quartz kindle
hmm let me check
earnest phoenix
mine? works for me
lusty dew
Not me smh
earnest phoenix
wait you're right, tf
earnest phoenix
oh its cause i deleted the channel L
lusty dew
Lmaooo
earnest phoenix
thanks for letting me know lol, fixed
lusty dew
I think inv should still work though
Doesn’t it
Haven’t payed much attention to discord invites and how they work lel
earnest phoenix
no wonder i havent had new members join smh
lusty dew
Lel
quartz kindle
there is something wrong with your oauth2 url
earnest phoenix
https://plexi-development.sucks-hairy-balls.xyz/9hnvq.png i dont it how the guide says 
earnest phoenix
implicit grant type is not suggested, it's very unsafe
ah yeah that worked, thank you :)
is there a more reliable guide for this? cause the one im reading has gave 2 faults so far from whats been said here xd
quartz kindle
i mean, the problem is that you didnt read it completely
it says in there to change your response_type to token
After you change the response type, you can test the url right away. Try visiting it in your browser and you will be directed to a page that looks like this.```you should still avoid storing the token on the front, phishers can grab the token
quartz kindle
thats why the token expires
lusty dew
Mmm I love light theme on discord
earnest phoenix
expires after a week
which is enough time for someone to steal the token
especially with CSRF attacks
quartz kindle
a week? i thought this was like a 6 hour token or something
earnest phoenix
it's a week, that's why some people who do sessions server side make sessions expire after a week
quartz kindle
well, if he scrolls down, there is a guide for the code grant method as well
earnest phoenix
^ I'll continue with the guide, I was just testing what I had so far, thank you again guys

How do you link the website to your domain?
earnest phoenix
through DNS, change the DNS to your IP
server IP*
if you want to go more in depth and more secure, you should also reverse proxy
oh i tried using CloudFlare but it was really difficult with Express for some reason
so I reverted and my friend has gave me some iptables rules to set
quartz kindle
cloudflare has a guide on how to use it with apis
which includes a set of things you need to disable
another thing you can also do is use nginx as a reverse proxy, which is what i do
lusty dew
Nginx?
earnest phoenix
same
lusty dew
My friend uses it don’t know what it does though
earnest phoenix
web server
quartz kindle
nginx is a webserver
earnest phoenix
its just a web server
like apache
so Tim, are you using Express too? with nginx
quartz kindle
im using restana instead of express
quartz kindle
which is basically the same thing, but faster
earnest phoenix
im kinda new to express, it was the other PiBot Developer who shown me it
quartz kindle
which doesnt really matter tho
express is the most popular node server
also has the most features, and biggest community
but depending on your usage needs, it can be quite bloated and slow
there are dozens of alternatives out there which are smaller/faster than express
they just have less features, and might be harder to use
in any case, most times it wont make a difference
express can handle 10-15k requests per second
earnest phoenix
so one more thing, once the token has authorised or whatever, is there a way to pass my client to the website? so i can use client.guilds.get etc on the webpage
quartz kindle
if you're not hitting that much volume, you can stay with express
for comparison, restana can hit 45k reqs/s
the developer of restana is going even further, he also made 0http, which claims to reach 70k+ requests/second
lusty dew
What website would ever get that high of requests?
quartz kindle
usually social networks and such
quartz kindle
youtube has other problems
quartz kindle
youtube's problem is storage and bandwidth lmao
lusty dew
Ah true
amber fractal
And garbage compression
earnest phoenix
youtube's problem is youtube
quartz kindle
i fucking hate windows atm
i've been trying to build this fucking module for hours
on linux it works in 5 seconds
quartz kindle
yeah i got everything, now the final boss is python is installed in program files
and i get cant find command files/python in c:/program
lmfao
fucking spaces in directory names
but i dont feel like moving python only for this
seriously, i even went through shit like npm deleting itself
or npm not updating because npm is open and cant be deleted
quartz kindle
now it refuses to install gyp because an unrelated npm module gives resource busy or locked
quartz kindle
im not moving, i need to setup a local test environment to work on a rather complex function
topaz fjord
oh
topaz fjord
yes tim. its a fact
quartz kindle
dude wtf is this shit, i dont get it
i completely uninstalled the module, deleted the folder from packaje.json and node_modules, but when i install gyp its still trying to build the module
during installation?
well apparently it didnt get removed from package.json, even though i did uninstall -s
earnest phoenix
